Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and Halton Borough Council

Warm Homes Local Grant (Halton)

Government-funded energy upgrades for homes in Halton, such as insulation, heat pumps and solar panels, for homeowners and private renters and their landlords. Improvement works are free to eligible homeowners; a landlord may need to pay for some of the improvements. The home must have an EPC rating of D to G, and the household must qualify by postcode, means-tested benefits or income. Halton Borough Council's scheme is delivered by Liverpool City Region Combined Authority and is open now, but funding is limited.

Who can apply

  • Homeowners, private renters and private landlords in Halton
  • The home must have an Energy Performance Certificate rating of D to G, and the household must meet one route: (1) an eligible postcode, checked with the postcode checker, whatever your income; (2) an adult permanent resident receives Universal Credit, Pension Credit (Guarantee Credit), income-based JSA, income-related ESA, Housing Benefit, Working Tax Credit or Child Tax Credit; or (3) combined annual income before tax below £36,000, or income after housing costs below the level set for your household size
  • Meeting the criteria does not guarantee funding: every home is assessed and the budget is limited

What it funds

  • Energy efficiency measures: cavity wall, flat roof, internal wall, loft, park home, solid or external wall and underfloor insulation
  • Hot water cylinder insulation, thermostats and cylinders or tanks
  • Solar PV, solar thermal and PV batteries
  • Digital or smart controls, windows and doors
  • Low carbon heating: air source heat pumps, hybrid heat pumps for homes on mains gas only, high retention storage heaters, ground source heat pumps, shared ground loops and biomass boilers

What you could receive depends on a retrofit assessment by the appointed contractor.

How to apply

  1. Check your home's EPC rating at https://www.gov.uk/find-energy-certificate and which eligibility route you meet
  2. Register your interest on the form at https://www.liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk/warm-homes-local-grant (homeowners can instead use the Government referral portal linked there)
  3. A contractor carries out a retrofit assessment of your home, which decides the measures you could receive

Private renters and landlords must use the Combined Authority's form, not the Government portal. Unsure which grant suits your home? Call the Save Energy Advice Line free on 0800 043 0151, or email greenhomesgrant@halton.gov.uk. Anyone working on the programme carries photographic identification.
